Gary Bauer Is Pretty Sure That Martin Luther King Jr. Would Have Opposed Gay Marriage
On yesterday's episode of "The Hagee Hotline," Matthew Hagee interviewed Religious Right leader Gary Bauer about the Supreme Court's decision to take up the issue of marriage equality in the coming term, which Bauer pre-emptively dismissed by asserting that "there is nothing in the Constitution of the United States that says that same-sex marriage is the law of the land."
Similarly, Bauer said, there is nothing in the Constitution that says that abortion should be legal or that public schools cannot open the day with mandatory prayer and Bible reading ... and Martin Luther King, Jr. would agree.
"I think what we've seen is the concept of civil rights being hijacked by all kinds of people who, I believe if Martin Luther King were alive today, he would be mortified by," Bauer said.
King, of course, opposed mandatory school prayer and supported Planned Parenthood, but that didn't stop Bauer from claiming that King would have sided with anti-gay activists in opposing marriage equality.
"I think Dr. King, being a pastor, would have certainly understood the biblical definition of marriage," he said. "It's sad to see that legacy being hijacked by folks that have a fairly radical agenda that's exactly contrary to what what Dr. King, as a Baptist minister would have believed in":

Grilled Vegetables
Chicken Under a Brick with Grilled Avocado, Scallion, and Red Onion
Spatchcocking is the speediest, easiest way to grill a whole bird. It cuts down on time and leaves you with crisp, crackly skin. Weighing it down with bricks means more grill-to-bird contact, which ensures super crackling-crisp skin.
Grilled Beets with Burrata and Poppy Seed Vinaigrette
Burrata is a type of fresh mozzarella with an oozy, creamy center (it's name refers to the buttery filling). Let it come to room temperature before serving.

20 Celebrities Who Look Surprisingly Different Without Their Signature Looks
Plenty of celebrities are beauty adventurers, constantly reinventing their looks (cough, Madonna, cough). But then there are the few who fall into an entirely different camp: the ones who find a look they like and stick to it unwaveringly, no matter what. On the rare occasions they do depart from their signature—be it a certain hair color or a makeup choice—they're often nearly unrecognizable. Here, a glimpse at what 20 celebrities look like without their iconic beauty trademarks.

In the parable of the Good Samaritan, Jesus tells of a man traveling from Jerusalem to Jericho. I've been on that road, and I can tell you that it is downhill all the way. The distance between Jerusalem and Jericho is 17 miles… and the drop in elevation is 3900 feet. It was (and is) an easy walk downhill, but a dangerous road. Robbers would hide in the rocky crags. No one traveled it alone if they could help it. But this man did. Also the Jericho Road was the route from worship (at the temple in Jerusalem) to the world. Jericho was a place of trade, of commerce…of daily existence.
You may have never traveled to the Holy Land, but I can tell you this: the Jericho Road runs right through your life. You go to Jerusalem—church—and then you go home to Jericho. For some it may even be close to a 17 mile drive. But in that 17 miles (or whatever the distance is) you and I can become as blind as the priest and as hardened as the Levite. We can go past people who are hurting and never look twice. We can close our eyes to the pain and suffering and lost-ness and heartache of our world while we hum our favorite hymn. And many times, we do just that because the Jericho road can break your heart. It can tug at your heart until you feel compassion…and then what? It might require that we love our neighbor. You see, a right relationship with Jesus Christ should overflow to those around us, especially on the Jericho Road.
But a certain Samaritan, who was on a journey, came upon him; and when he saw him, he felt compassion.

HOWEVER, that doesn't mean your feelings and needs don't matter! It's not right for you to just be left behind, doing mundane housework, taking the kids to their activities (how old are they?), sitting home in the evenings watching TV, while hubby is out wining and dining his gf, going on romantic dates... Heck, one time my ex-h came home from a date with his new gf in our early awkward days of being poly and said they'd gone to a bookstore and he was reading poetry out loud to her!!! When was the last time he'd read poetry to me?
Now, your h and his gf have broken up, despite his desire for 2 primaries, 2 households. He is eager to get back into the saddle of looking for the next Ms Right? And you're like, oh shit, here we go again.
Put on the brakes! Ask him to take a break from dating. Work on your own relationship for a while, set a time frame, 3 months, whatever YOU feel you need. Ask for what you want. More dates? More firsts? More memory making?
I asked for that from my ex, eventually. We started going on more dates. Weekend trips. Adventures to other states, towns, scenery. No, he didn't read me poetry (heh) but we went to music fests, we got hotel rooms, and as a result of all the new stimulation and time alone, we had tons and tons of sex, more than we'd ever had in our lives together (20+ years together at that point).
And/or maybe you want him to finish that household project. Or go to couples counseling with you. Or keep the kids while you go visit your sister for a week. Or tell you he loves you more. Or make you breakfast, or scrub the kitchen floor. YOU decide what makes you feel valued and loved.
(For me, all this wasn't enough. For reasons other than poly, we did break up, we'd grown apart, and it was just time.)
Not, I need him to not be him, to suddenly become mono. But, I love him, he has to be himself, how do I get MY needs met for feeling loved and secure and entertained while he continues to be true to his poly self?
Once you feel your needs are fully met (some needs met by him, some needs met by yourself, some needs met by your platonic friends and family), you will be more able to develop compersion (happy to see him happy) out of the ashes of the jealousy you used to feel.
You just need to look at what your needs are, and go about getting them met. Backburnering your own needs for decades is not healthy. I know the Christian culture has told us to put our own needs last, but personally, I do not feel that is healthy. Everyone's feelings and needs matter, not just the need of your h to be poly.
Love withers under constraint; its very essence is liberty. It is compatible neither with envy, jealousy or fear. It is there most pure, perfect and unlimited when its votaries live in confidence, equality and unreserve. -- Shelley
Mags (poly, F, 60) loving miss pixi (poly, F, 38) since January 2009, living together since 2013

"Master," (mono, 34), miss pixi's Dom for 2 years
Does your spouse basically leave you alone to struggle with your feelings of poly hell?
Set his name aside for a moment...
If you were going to print this list of needs, what would you circle?
J - my wife & partner since 2000
D - R's wife & my girlfriend since 2013
Da - dating in a polyamorous relationship
R - D's husband & J's boyfriend
Hello. I'm also a mono partner of a poly and I've honestly asked myself that same question. And like others have said, it's better to ask "Why am I in this relationship?", or even better "What do I need / want from my relationships and am I getting it?"
The bending for his benefit sounds like the Brave Little Toaster sydrome the Polyamorous Misantrope posted about on her blog. Short version, don't bend yourself for your partner in the HOPES of being happy later. If you can't be happy now, and there's no fix, may be time to gently move on. I understand with children involved, it's WAY easier said than done. But you have to make sure you don't succumb to emotional poisoning.
Sorry it took me a few days to respond. To answer some of your questions, no my husband doesn't leave me to suffer in poly Hell alone, he does try to reassure me constantly. I have a hard time not being everything to him. And yes I know I can't possibly but it hurts and feels bad when it is with someone he wants to share his life with too. And no I do not sit home alone, I get out plenty, I have friends, I have family, I have interests in many things. It still bothers me when he is with someone else. I would be fine if he was gone the same amount of time with friends or whatever, I have plenty to keep myself busy and entertained, it's just the idea he is with someone else (a woman) building something new. Honestly, a few months ago, I had finally come to terms with it somewhat and was used to it. But since he and his gf broke up and he is now looking for another it's like picking at an old scab. I feel like I have to start all over again, trying to get thru the feelings of jealousy and go through the NRE all over again. I guess I have to reprocess everything the same way I did last time around.
1) Stay and hate your SO for being poly and make you both miserable knowing he is who he is and will not change. (I respect the honesty).
2) Leave him and he will continue to be who he is.
3)Stay and accept him for who he is and be happy in a relationship with him.
Everyone deserves to be happy and loved.
If you ARE up for this, participating in a polyship? Then yes. That's part of the deal -- he could break up with people. He could date again. And yes, NRE all over and witnessing it for you.
If you are willing/able to go there and be in good health/good spirit? Go.
If you are not willing? Not able? It's hurting you in your health and in your spirit? Stop doing this.
I am concerned you are depressed.
I note you do not list what your needs in relationship are. It is good he doesn't leave you to suffer poly hell alone... but you do not indicate if he meets you needs.
For the most part I am usually ok with it and I guess you could say have grown used to it. I just struggle with it from time to time. He does meet my needs, some of my wants he cannot meet because that would mean him not being who he is (poly). In reality when there is someone else in the picture he is more attentive, more loving, more caring. After he and his gf broke up he was like a parent who had 2 children and 1 died. He couldn't be a good parent to the one who was still alive because he was too busy grieving the one that was lost. He has gotten better with time though and I was understanding that he had just lost a 3 year relationship and was there for him. It's like a double edged sword--when he has someone he goes overboard being nice because I think he is so grateful that I am allowing him to be really be who he is and I reap the benefits of it (even just having the chance to miss one another we are more appreciative of our time together). But when he doesn't have anyone, he doesn't feel as though he has to try as hard so we actually have a better connection when he does have someone else. I still struggle with the jealousy though.

Leonardo Journal Ranks Among Top Visual Arts Journals
Google Scholar released ranking of visual arts journals based on the h-5 citation index. The Leonardo Journal came in fourth ahead of Art Forum and Art in America.
Leonardo was founded in 1968 in Paris by kinetic artist and astronautical pioneer Frank Malina. Malina saw the need for a journal that would serve as an international channel of communication between artists, with emphasis on the writings of artists who use science and developing technologies in their work. Today, Leonardo is the leading journal for readers interested in the application of contemporary science and technology to the arts.
Following Frank Malina's death in 1981, Leonardo moved to California under the leadership of his son, UT Dallas Professor Roger F. Malina, then an astronomer at the University of California at Berkeley. With the support of founding board members Frank Oppenheimer and Robert Maxwell, the International Society for the Arts, Sciences and Technology (Leonardo/ISAST) was formed in 1982.
Leonardo/ISAST was created to address the rapidly expanding needs of the art, science and technology community, by participating in conferences, symposia, festivals, lecture series and awards programs, in addition to its various publishing activities. Over the years a number of working groups developed from the Leonardo Network to address the needs of artists and scientists interested in focused topics. Projects underway include the Space and the Arts Workshop series, the Leonardo Educators and Students Program, the YASMIN discussion list for artists working around the Mediterranean Rim, the Scientists Working Group, and the Leonardo Art/Science Evening Rendezvous (LASER) series.
Roger Malina served as Chairman of the Board for 26 years, committed both to the international focus of Leonardo/ISAST and to identifying and encouraging the "New Leonardos" — innovative creators around the world who work with art, science and technology. Roger continues today as Executive Editor of Leonardo and serves on the Leonardo/ISAST Board in a role as Chairman Emeritus.
View the top publications for Visual Arts at Google Scholar. The nine most cited Leonardo articles in the past five years are available at Google Scholar.

Two heavyweights from the Senate want to know who is minding the shop at the Homeland Security Department. And whoever it is, the department's inspector general would like to speak with them.
Sens. Joseph Lieberman (I-Conn.) and Susan Collins (R-Maine) wrote to Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano late last month to express concerns that the contractor workforce at DHS, estimated at 200,000, now outnumbers the federal civilian employees, which stands at 188,000, not including Coast Guard uniformed employees.
"The sheer number of DHS contractors currently on board again raises the question of whether DHS itself is in charge of its programs and policies, or whether it inappropriately has ceded core decisions to contractors," Lieberman and Collins wrote Feb. 24.
On the same day, as chance would have it, DHS IG Richard Skinner released a report that questions the department's willingness to suspend or debar poorly performing contractors.
In a recent audit, the IG identified 23 cases in which a contract was terminated for default or cause, but the contract was not subsequently reviewed to see whether a debarment or suspension was appropriate.
DHS "has suspension and debarment policies and procedures in place," Skinner wrote. "However, the department is reluctant to apply the policies and procedures against poorly performing contractors."
The timing of the letter and the report appears to be coincidental, but no one could be blamed for seeing one as the cause and the other as the effect.
The two stories "may cause folks to wonder if any reluctance might be created from the department's 'heavy reliance on contractors,'" wrote reader Peter G. Tuttle. "It's tough to debar your contractors if you are overly dependent upon them. It would be very interesting to see what percent of DHS' mission support effort is performed by the contractors in question who were not debarred or suspended."

lets face it too, most shops dont push the local shaper for a number of reasons. If a kids comes in and says I want a CI. How many shops will say, Look bro, thats a good board but if you are going to surf our waves perhaps you ought to look into a board from Wynn. He has a similar shape to the CI but its more refined to our waves. That used to happen but not so much any more.
\nThe thing is, there are plenty of local shops that are doing quite well with Nike and the rest because they are better business people. They have an internet presence, they don't hire d-bags with piss poor attitudes and they make every customer feel wanted. This whole Nike hysteria sounds more like a cover for sh!tty shops trying to point the finger somewhere else instead of looking at their business model.

\nThis country is a scary place now. There aren't any manafacturing jobs here because companies want to make higher profits. The current business model for the country is soft fascism. It's when the country is run by corporations which is why we have a soft version of fascism here. I just don't want it to escalate. It would be great if the country got back to its roots or at least comprised. We would no longer import all this merchandise but create it in our country. People would actually take pride in their work, their community and respect their neighbors. People would buy goods in their community from locals in their community and the local econoomy would thrive. Basically, we just need morals and principles again. Instead of just ****ing the guy in the ass next to you for the almighty dollar.
\nThis is not just a surfing issue but a problem with all industries. We are losing our way. Eventually, there will no longer be mom and pop shops. We will be bought by the big companies for advertising too. I hope we eventually don't see people with permanent tattooed Hollister shirts.

you are aware that Nike started out as a very small operation about of Phil Knights car don't you?
\nan walmart started as a small mom and pop store and Ford started as a small shop.
\nJust about every company based in the US started out small. They just did it better than every body else and grew. So all these evil 'corporations' are really mom and pops who made it big.

\nWhen a company gets huge, the decisions it makes affects everyone in our country and they actually shape the laws in this country through their influence in Washington. Now, that is crazy ****. There is a ripple down affect just from the outsourcing of jobs that affects a huge amount of areas. From unemployment benefits, to local businesses going under (more unemployment and bankruptcy liquidation), to higher taxes for social services for people who lost their jobs, etc. etc. etc. Then, they get too big and they receive corporate welfare from our pocket. Give me a break. We need a fair marketplace. Not just a monopoly. Everyone can complain all they want including me. If we really want to make a difference. Don't go to Walmart, Target, McDonalds, Home Depot, Lowes, grocery store chains and other big box stores. Don't buy big name brands. Buy whatever you can from local shops including produce from local farms not corporate produce from chain grocery stores.
\nUntil people start buying locally, we will always see corporations spreading their logos in every aspect of live and in every corner of this country's landscape. Local goods may cost more but it's not that much more. Maybe you give up buying some **** you don't need at a big box store (sneakers with lights in the sole) and buy some other stuff locally.

i dont see a big issue with these corporations. How is a big company lobbying any different from labor doing it? I would prefer that they all buy stuff in this country but as long as labor rates are so high, they cant and survive. from what I am seeing, there seems to be some movement to bringing production back to the US (mainly the southern states) due to the corruption in China and other areas so hopefully that trend continues.
\nGetting back to the topic, it all goes back to adaptation. Those shops that adapt to changing conditions will be fine. those that cling to the past will not regardless of Nike or any other big player.

"If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. There was a great teacher somewhere in your life. Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you've got a business — you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen. The Internet didn't get invented on its own. Government research created the Internet so that all the companies could make money off the Internet. The point is, is that when we succeed, we succeed because of our individual initiative, but also because we do things together."

You know, the thing is, it's a very true statement in some ways. Every business does rely on the existing infrastructure; be it roads, the education system or the internet. My only issue with it is, the infrastructure wasn't built by the government, it was built by the citizens who contributed the tax base to pay for it. The government was solely the bureaucracy that organized these projects (barely) and then farmed them out to private contractors. All politicians, regardless of party, treat the electorate like sheep to be fleeced.
"If I have seen further it is only by standing on the shoulders of giants."
I owe a lot to the innovators who came before me, the educators who taught me, the community which raised me, the family that sustains me; but the edifices I raise are by the sweat of my brow. That and nepotism.

Hollister is the most profitable "surf" brand in the industry. why you may ask?
\nthe same reason small companies stand no chance in this corporate fight for greed and exploitation. DISTRIBUTION! it's simple really. whoever makes more of a product gets it cheaper. which means they sell a higher quality product for cheaper.
\nwhich puts the press on brick and mortar surf/skate shops to only carry the "top 5" and will continually be harder and harder to open. while zumies and pac sun will continue to thrive. unless there is a supportive community that takes a conscious choice to support local. or else we all f*cked.
\nby the way...cancel your Fuel TV (owned by rupert murdoch) subscriptions.. that bad boy is sinking quick. that soon is going to be a regular sports channel that fox is positioning up against ESPN.
\nand DVS in now owned by Justin timberlake...and his parents...
\njust read http://shop-eat-surf.com/ for you daily depressive dose on the fight of good and evil.
\nhowever on the bright side, we will probably get some nike wave pools popping up places because if there was a pocket deep enough for that dream to become a reality they would be the ones to do it. the only action sports that really make good money is moto x among some other race sports. the skate industry is all jumping ship because there isn't enough money in it. but thanks to street league hopefully that will change.

\nwith that pressure trickling down to brick and mortar stores they are no longer able to invest in local or small companies. and the big D*cks are giving them reasons and great prices to not ever have to go back to a hodgepodge of surf and skate brands plus it's easier for them to only place orders from a few people.
\nnot to mention the (almost) complete extinction of sales reps. the only companies that can afford to get their product in front of shops are the big guys now anyways.
\nhopefully these last 90 days of summer were profitable for the shops and they will make the right decision when order time comes. but they only order what kids ask for. now with kids only seeing nike in their shops i wonder what they'll ask for...

the economy is an impact for sure but there have always been big boy against the little guy. If the big boys produce crap, they will go under or cut that business line loose due to low sales. Look at Gotcha. They were HUGE in the 80s but where are they now?

another false dichotomy....
there is no reason other than greed and obeisance to shareholders (sorry for the big words pump) for a company that "makes it" to abandon its core beliefs. por ejemplo, there is a difference between price club (now costco) and wal-mart. price club started small (and classy) in san diego (balboa #101) and grew to huge success... but unlike wal-mart, they STILL provide a living wage (more than $10 an hour more than wal-mart) and benefits and don't limit the number of full time staff to push the burden of health care of its employees onto the public. result? go into a store. costco has one of the highest customer AND employee satisfaction rates, while wal-mart has the lowest (as reported by numerous self-surveys including consumer reports). costco doesn't go into a neighborhood to undercut its competition to be the only dog in town. it has a specific range of goods that it sells and maintains well to a specific crowd...with excellent customer service and a quite liberal return policy. the scorched-earth policy of some big chains is self defeating, for it creates an environment where there are fewer consumers for the very goods they sell. when nike and others step out of their expertise to sell a cheaper product that will run the small businessman out, there is only one motive: profit. it is not filling a needed demand, nor is it adding quality to the life of the public it purports to serve. is it legal? sure. being an a$$h0le is legal too. that doesn't make it a good policy. dog-eat -dog business is short sighted and ultimately moronic. making it big time does not necessarily translate into being exploitative. hopefully the days of the company store (the wal-mart model) will not return.

i would say that they already DO 'contribute back' in the form of taxes and providing jobs for people.
\ni do agree with the local shop thing. I will support them as long as they don't try to gouge me and/or hire idiotic employees.

The American Monopoly will only continue to grow as long as our paychecks allow them to. The problem doesn't stem from nike trying to get into a niche market, it stems from the economy as a whole. As the price for goods continue to rise, we as the nations consumers are forced to either make more money or look for the best deals.... which is why the walmarts and targets are so successful these days.
\nNow what I cannot seem to grasp, is the fact that a company like nike, who has severely marked up their prices since the start of their company, can continue to grow and infiltrate niche markets and overwhelm them with high prices.
\nI have never liked the "surf industry" or any sports "industry" for that matter, I have always done things because I enjoy them, not because I like the look, but the look is what keeps companies in business and is why they can afford to pay ambassadors the big money. Quite frankly I could give a **** less if nike wants to run everyone out of town, eventually everything will wipe itself out and we will have to start over.
\nIf you ever get the chance read Yvon Chouinards book, Let my People go Surfing. Its a good read about how a business should be run to stay sustainable through the cycle of the world.

The funny thing is, communites complain about Wal-Mart or Target coming into their areas, but then the parking lots are jammed with these same people from the day they open. Obviously, these companies are fulfilling a demand that either wasn't being met by existing retailers or are doing it more cheaply than existing retailers. Either that or the residents didn't really care either way, but wanted to complain about something.
If a mom and pop shop can't find a way to compete with Wal-Mart on price, they need to differentiate their shop in another way (customer service, return policy, delivery, higher quality goods, whatever). If they can't do that, they won't survive. If the public demands cheap, low quality crap from China because they don't care about having to replace their (fill in the blank) every year, and they don't care about exploitation of labor overseas, and they don't care about the environmental ramifications (both from production and disposition of crappy goods), then the Wal-Marts of the world will continue to thrive, especially in an economy where those at the margins can barely survive.
Personally, I shop where I get the best service and the best quality for my money. If I go into a local shop or big-box store and get crappy service, I typically won't go back ever again even if they have the best prices. Taking this back to Nike and surfing - the vast majority of hardcore surfers aren't going to buy Nike gear. It's going to be wannabes, kooks, and trend followers - ie, those who either don't know any better or aren't going to be surfing for long.
It seems to me like we're seeing a trend away from the Wal-Marts of the world and more towards the local economy lately, but maybe I'm wrong. There's nothing wrong with profit, but profit earned unethically is not acceptable.

\nAlthough surfing is getting saturated with players/surfers i must say, I surfed EL Porto in Cali (head high day, marquee spot), tons of surfers in the water but only a handful catching waves. No problems here, i had a blast.
\nSurf NJ whenever there's a wave and ALWAYS go the opposite direction of the crowds. Usually its just sheeple following each other. the blind leading the blind. It's amazing how a sport that lends itself to individuality is filled with so many followers....

"If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. There was a great teacher somewhere in your life. Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you've got a business — you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen. The Internet didn't get invented on its own. Government research created the Internet so that all the companies could make money off the Internet. The point is, is that when we succeed, we succeed because of our individual initiative, but also because we do things together."

SUMMERTIME has long been considered a "dead" time in the food world, with travel plans superseding a desire to stay home and spend lots of money in restaurants. But this beach season is shaping up to be an extremely busy and hungry one in Philly at least, with a crop of new places vying for our attention.
Here's a look at just a few of the new projects we should see open between Memorial Day Weekend and Labor Day.
Tyler Akin and Nicole Reigle are about a week away from opening Stock, their long-in-the-works Vietnamese pho shop a few Fishtown blocks up from Frankford and Girard, an area with very little Asian cuisine representation.

Hi gupts
^^^ Hey Asha....how's it going?
Asha and Gupts, you guys are too funny. I think you should look out for Docman though. I'm his cheering section.
Egoiste for me! Two fine products for sure.
That girl, that bottle, that mattress and me.
^^^ Hi DocmanCC......you've got garnered some heavyweight support here mate.....
Ooh that is going to be one shattered ego ! (LOL)
(And as very nice as Egoiste is, I'm actually pretty surprised it even got this far. ... (I mean, who "knocked it out" last year ??? I can't remember. Must go do a quick search, as I'm quite intrigued now).
But I do think LDDM is gonna rape the hell out of that egocentric selfish little ... )
EDIT:...And only one single Guerlain in the running 4 the final ??? (And by the skin of it's teeth too ) ... What has happened this year to all the usual Guerlain "groupies" ??? (LOL)
Last edited by Sybarite; 27th March 2010 at 07:41 PM. Reason: Adding info
Well, Egoiste has got one hell of a support club here but I hope Egoistes success fades right here
I really like LDDM but I love Egoiste so my vote goes to Egoiste.
GO Egoiste!
That is very true ! ... Loads of Egoiste luvers around here for sure. ... And I concur, and think Egoiste indeed a lovely frag. ...Well, Egoiste has got one hell of a support club here but I hope Egoistes success fades right here
BUT, no one will ever convince me that Egoiste deserves to win here, and especially not as the overall winner, if it scrapes thru ! ... L'DDM is just (IMO, of course) sooo very obviously the superior composition ! ...
(Even when it comes down to just their longevity alone, for example. ... LDDM easily outperforms EGO 4 to 1. It lasts easily four time as long, if not even longer !?)
It just seems so obvious ! ... But many a "superior" frag has gone down here. So ....... ???
Also, ... Egoiste is probably also stealing many extra votes from the ladies here. (For it quite possibly gets worn even more so by women than men here, probably !?)

I have one horse left in this derby and neither of these is it. However, I chose Egoiste over LDDM by a small margin.
Things are things because of Mind--Zen Buddhist saying
I don't really enjoy either of these fragrances but I chose Egoiste because I don't think LDDM deserves to take it all (which if it progresses to the final will most likely be the case).
Seek not the favor of the multitude; it is seldom got by honest and lawful means. But seek the testimony of few; and number not voices, but weigh them. - Immanuel Kant
Egoiste is creeping back! It's a tough choice between these two so I can see why the LDDM voters do what they do, but Egoiste is a wonderful underdog, and a familiar local (well almost) team. Who doesn't have a soft spot hoping the underdog surprises the killer team in the last moments?
That girl, that bottle, that mattress and me.
Had to go with Egoiste. L'Air would be a fave if it wasn't so darn overpowering, but as it is, Egoiste IS a fave with that wonderful rose, sandalwood, and naughty coriander.

LDDM vs. Chergui final? I think the women voting might help Chergui defeat Vetiver.
Offsite Sales - Updated June7th
Vintage Dia, Vetiver Dry, Angel parfum, Opium parfum for Sale:
It's up to Gupts, Asha and zliang right now. They're each going to pick up 16 tonight. If Chergui wins tomorrow zliang will come out on top mathematically no matter who wins the final. If vetiver wins, gupts 2 point lead will prevail over Asha no matter who wins the final. So, for those of you at home betting on brackets, tomorrow is the final!
Sorry DustB, I bet too heavily on Habit Rouge. *shakes fist at egoiste*
I'm shocked Vetiver has made it so far. Habit Rouge and the other Guerlains have more character.
